Great minds think differently

There are five distinct differences that set us apart from other global law firms: our way of working, our international approach, our people, our view on time and our culture.

The training contract

Find out more about the training and seat rotations, international secondments, our extra-curricular activities and our generous benefits package.

Work experience opportunities

We run work experience and campus events for law and non-law students. We offer a variety of ways for school students, undergraduates and postgraduates to get a taste of life as a lawyer at Slaughter and May.

We are committed to a forward-thinking, innovative approach to legal service delivery to complement the best in class, business-focussed advice on which our reputation is built.

To help you understand what lawyers do, take a look at our range of lawyer profiles and follow a trainee to experience ‘a week in the life’.

During the autumn months we attend over 30 university law fairs and also organise a range of events at universities across the UK and in our London office.

Virtual Insight Programme

Our Virtual Insight Programme will give you an insight into some of the types of work our trainees and lawyers do every day. It's open to all students and no legal knowledge is required.
